RFC 10008: The new HTTP Query Method

Depends whether your form submission should expect side effects or not. Most forms submissions have side effects. If the effect is truly idempotent, wouldn't PUT be a better verb? That is also supposed to be idempotent.

You can’t use PUT as a form action though.

I always forget this, because it makes no sense. Fair enough!

GET and QUERY are both idempotent.

I know, but neither GET nor QUERY may have side effects.
